The county is serious about preventing the abuse or misuse of old or unneeded medications. To assure that these medications can be disposed of in a healthy and environmentally safe manner, free disposal sites have been offered since 2012.

The drop-off boxes at each site will accept unneeded over-the-counter medications, prescription and narcotic medications from community members.

The Nisswa drop-off site will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. For more information, contact police chief Craig Taylor at 218-963-4444.
